The stats: Despite playing in a deep wideout rotation with Mario Manningham and Greg Mathews, caught 67 passes for 882 yards last year, tenth- and eighth-best, respectively, in the Big Ten.

What you get: Arrington has classic size and leaping ability for an NFL receiver, as well as long arms and big hands. Possesses the moves and footwork to shake defensive backs, although could do it with more consistency. Evolved from an immature player to a steady team leader. Very intelligent player on and off the field. Played all three wideout roles at Michigan, including slot.

What you question: Doesn't have deep threat speed. Needs to get stronger to handle NFL defensive backs. Focus sometimes drifts. Should be a better run blocker. Past problems with maturity.

Bottom line: Probably made a mistake turning pro early. Another year of school would have allowed Arrington to showcase his skills as Michigan's top receiver, get stronger and perhaps emerge as a first-round pick. A dominating performance in the Capital One Bowl (9 catches, 153 yards, 2 touchdowns) showed Arrington's considerable upside - makes tough catches, runs multiple routes well. Imagine if he'd had a year as Michigan's No. 1 receiver? Hard to see him hurting himself. If you're drafting him, you're drafting him mostly on his physical skills and upside.

Draft prediction: Draft expert Mel Kiper has been calling Arrington a player on the rise in the draft and currently predicts he'll be drafted 99th overall (late third round) by the Baltimore Ravens. Most others have the wideout going anywhere from the fourth to seventh round. He'll be drafted, probably in the fourth, and after that it's up to Arrington. If he gets stronger, is willing to work on his special teams play and run-blocking dirty work, and commits the way he did his final year at Michigan, he'll have a solid NFL career as a second or third option receiver and bank some nice money. If he feels like he's arrived and flashes the old immature streak, he'll be out of the league fast.
